Selection Statement:

A steadfast companion since my college years in China, this book represents the enduring spirit of democracy and constitutionalism that inspired my pursuit of truth, freedom, and the rule of law as a first-generation immigrant and father of a U.S. citizen. As I reflect on my journey and the current affairs in the United States and China, it reinforces the importance of open discourse and democratic values and reminds me of the progress made and the arduous path that still lies ahead for both nations.
